Therapy for Anxiety in San Luis Obispo

For overthinkers, people-pleasers, and conflict avoiders who are tired of running on empty

You're reliable, thoughtful, and always putting others first. But underneath it all, you're worn out from overthinking interactions, saying yes when you want to say no, and tiptoeing around conflict.

Therapy offers a space to slow down, say what you really think, and begin to shift the patterns that keep you stuck. Together we'll work to ease anxiety, strengthen boundaries, and restore balance in your life and relationships.

I see individuals in person in San Luis Obispo and online across California, Washington, Florida, and South Carolina.

What is your approach to therapy?

My work is practical, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I help you understand the patterns keeping you stuck (the thoughts and beliefs driving your anxiety or people-pleasing), while also giving you concrete tools to manage stress in your body, set boundaries, and communicate more effectively. I draw from different research-backed approaches to create a plan that fits your specific needs.

Does therapy really work?

Yes. Research consistently shows that therapy helps people reduce anxiety, improve relationships, and build healthier patterns. People who get the most out of therapy find a therapist they feel comfortable with and practice new skills outside of sessions. Think of therapy like working with a trainer - I'll help you build on your strengths, develop new skills, and you'll get stronger over time by practicing in your day-to-day life.

Can I do sessions online?

Yes. Online sessions are conducted virtually through secure, HIPAA-compliant video. Online therapy offers convenience, flexible scheduling, and the same evidence-based care as in-person sessions (all without a commute).

Can I schedule a free intro call first?

Yes! I offer a complimentary 10-minute intro call.
